Yarns About the Volunteer.

BosroN, July 23.-The story was pub.
lished last evening that the new sloop
yacht, Volunteer, had met with an acct
dent yesterday; that her mainsail had
given way with crash, and that the tat.
tered sheet went flying to the winds. The
facts are that yesterday, after rain
storm, the Volunteer started out for q
short run. The sea was heavy, and q
fifteen-knot breeze was blowing. HeI
sails at first worked badly, but came out
all right in short time, and she stood up
splendidly in the heavy wind and rough
sea, doing better even than her owner and
designer had expected. On her return
from Nayhout her bobstay was unscrewed
from the cap on the bowsprit, which
formed the only ground for the yarn al
luded to. Captain Hoff says she behaved
admirably, and he considers her better
boat in a rough sea than either the Puri
tan or the Mayhower.

HYDROPHOBIA.
A Little Boy, Bitten on the Hand, Dies a
Horrible Death.

Little Boy, Bitten on the Hand, Dies u
Horrible Death.
CHICAGO, July 23-Arthur Muller, aged
2 years, died yesterday of hydrophobia.
Five weeks ago last Sunday the family
were at garden and the boy was playing
outside, when a small black dog rushed up
to the little fellow, biting him on the third
finger of his left hand and scratching him
slightly on the cheek. The father was
called to the child by his cries, and was
himself bitten on the thumb by the dog.
Mr.. Muller then shot the animal and sub
sequently went into an adjoining drug
store to have the wounds of himself and
child dressed. The wound of Mr.. Muller
was cauterized, but the cnild's wounds
were only treated with carbolic salve.
AS the wounds of the child healed
rapidly, no further attention WAS paid to
the matter, and when he was taken sick
last Wednesday evening, no one thought
of the dog bite. On Thursday evening the
boy was attacked with symptoms of hy-
drophobia, which lasted throughout the
night, and yesterday morning there was
little hope of the child's recovery. He
fingered along, having periodical convul-
sions until this afternoon, when he died
in great agony.

REFUSE TO PAY THE TAX.
United States Officials Boycotted by the
People of Taylor County, KY.


People of Taylor County, KY.
LOUISVILLE, July 23.-United States
Marshal Gross and his large force of
deputies, who left Tuesday to levy on prop
erty of the residents of Taylor county,
KY, for refusal to pay taxes on railroad
bonds, have been boycotted BY the hotels
of Campbellsville, which refused to enter
tain him. He, with his force, encamped
in the open air, and is not making much
progress in levying on the property. All
the stores we're closed up and most of the
personal property has been removed and
the live stock has been taken out of the
county. Several houses were levied on in
the absence of something better. A large
crowd of people accompanied the officers,
but no interference or disturbance was
made. Suit was brought against the
marshal to-day for $1,000, for unlawfuliy
cam ping in the court house yard, by the
county jailer. The people seemed deter
mined not to pay their taxes, and gen
eral boycott of the officers seems immi-
nent, as neighboring towns have said they
would not take care of any stock levied or
in Taylor county.

LITIGATION.
Relatives of A. II. Stewart and
His Wife Fighting Over
Their Property.
Stories About the Yacht Volun-
teer, Soon to Race With
the Thistle.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Litigation about
the estate of Alex. I. Stewart appears to
be interminable. The last published i'm
portant action begun was that by Prescott
Hall Butler, who, about the middle of Feb
ruary last, filed notice of the tendency of
the action in the suit to set aside what
is known as the trust clause in the will of
Mrs. Cornelia M. Stewart. Mr.. Buffers
great aim was to reduce ex-Judge Henry
Hilton's influence and power as trustee
under that document to as near nothing
as possible.
Mr.. Buffers mother-in-law, Mrs. j.
Lawrence Smith, has now begun another
suit against Mr.. Hilton. The pur-
pose of this is to have an az
counting to set aside the transfer of the
dry goods business made by Mrs. Stewart,
IN 1876. A. L. Stewart died in April of
that year. The present action differs in
some unimportant particulars from the
suit instituted by Mr.. Butler. In his ac-
ton he devoted large part of the com
plant to allegations of undue influence
exerted by Mr.. Hilton upon the mind of
Mrs. Stewart. This feature does not APP
pear in the present complaint, which,
without this, however, is still formidable
document.
Mrs. Smith recites well-known facts
relative to the transfer, and makes the as
sertion that it was unlawfully made
against the lawful interests of the rightful
heirs, and not in accordance with the in
tention of Mr.. Stewart as de-
clared in his will. The sum OF
one million, for which provision was
made, was intended it is asserted al
full and ample discharge OF
all obligations of the estate to Judge Hill
ton for conducting or closing out the bust
ness.
Among the property to which attention
is called as having passed improperly to
Mr.. Hilton's hands, are building al
Broadway and Chambers streets, and a
large retail building at Tenth street
There is recital of facts of the will of A
Il. Stewart, letters from Mr., Stewart to his
wife relative to his wishes of the manage
ment Of the estate by Mr.. Hilton, of Mrs
Stewards will, and of many such
matters as were set forth in the
suit of Mr.. Butler. The transfer OF
property, it is held, had been made
without authority and in manner de-
handing investigation and accounting
In the original will and first codicil Mrs
Smith received certain sum out and out
but in the fiual provisions of the docu-
ments she was made equal heir will
Charles j. Olinch, the favorite nephew o.
Mrs. Stewart, as Mrs. Smith was said Il
be her favorite niece.
AS the present action is brought merely
to set aside the transfer of property
made in 1876, it is thought that litigation
takes this form to evade the clause il
the will providing that any heir contest
ing it shall forfeit the amount left him
or her.
